00:00Until now, popcorn's tax depended on how it was sold. Loose salted popcorn faced 5%
00:13GST, branded or packaged versions were taxed at 12%, and the sweet caramel-coated
00:18variant fell into the sugar confectionary bracket at 18%. But at the recent GST Council
00:22meeting on September 3rd, 2025, under the new GST 2.0 revamp, the confusion was cleared.
00:28From September 22, all popcorn, salted, spice, packaged or caramelized will attract a
00:33uniform 5% GST.
00:35It was very important in Uttar Pradesh as a regime, because those who have popcorn with chocolate
00:44and sugar, they also had taxed by tax. That's why there was a lot of issues.
00:58That's why I came to the church and gave me a lot of information that I was talking about
01:05about the finance minister, why are you talking about popcorn? But this is a technical issue.
01:09The council had the responsibility of the church. This time, in our proposal, we had
01:14dealed that the food, whether it's with sugar, or whether it's with sugar,
01:20it should be at a 5% rate.
01:26The internet celebrated memes, jokes, and popcorn cameos flooded timelines as people shared this
01:32simplification. So, the next time you grab popcorn, whether salted or caramel, the price you pay will be simpler.
